He can get up to around 90 on FIFA12, though.

82 goals this season: 73 with Barca + 9 with the NT

Messi is now the 4th highest goalscorer of the NT at 24.

Messi is awesome. There's no question about that. But is that really Argentina's full team?

3rd goal was WC. Argentina needs a better defense and they can win it in 2014

Our defence still needs work, but not really our CBs, more like our full backs.
I'm sure Zanetti could do a better job.

Fernandez is'nt good enough tbh..... maybe move Masch there once you can get a CM you can rely upon alongside Garay.

Find a LB and play Matias when he matures.

I liked FedFern honestly, he is a little erratic, but he is great at tackling and made that goal-saving block. His header was superb too, hes very competent in the air. Reminds me a bit of Demichilis tbh Our fullbacks are certainly an issue though, we need to start experimenting with Matias Ansaldi Pillud Insua etc.

Is my mind playing tricks on me or didn't Messi have the game winner the last time they played too with a run from about midfield in the last minutes of the game vs Brazil?

I believe they won 1-0 if I'm correct? They may have played again after that but can you believe between these two games you still have people questioning this man?

Blind hate and jealousy is a nasty thing. You would think people would hide it instead of posting it all over the internet.

And thank god for Messi as Brazil used to kick the ever loving shit out of Argentina for a long time there before Messi hit his peak. Even if the score was close the game's were not as they were better technically and physically dominant. Thank god Argentina can punch back now.

No I'm not Canadian(though I currently live there), not argentine either but I've been supporting Argentina for my entire life lol(long, long before Barca).

Yeah, and also scored rather similar goal against Brazil in WC05 U20 SF.

Not Canadian, not Argentinian, yet supports Argentina....

How can you allow Messi to run 40 yards and not even attempt to close him down?

Luiz & Silva would have locked that ass down.

lol i know it's weird

but I'm Trinidadian, our NT is pretty much shit and the only contribution we made to football was Dwight Yorke.

Argentina impressed me from a young age and the fact that I supported them through the maradona and pep batista years shows that I'm not really a Bandwagoner.

Nah, i understand. South African, home of the most arrogant players in the world, we suck. I support Scotland otherwise.

Messi's hattrick was as good as they get, great game from him. I thought Neymar had a great game, he should have had two penalties in the first half. The referee was very harsh on Brazil.

That said I don't know why Marcelo got a red card, Lavezzi punched Marcelo and then had a Joey Barton moment and the referee shows Marcelo a red card!

marcelo slapped lavezzi

Another jealous hater, you are aware he shot before he get anywhere near the defence

If your going to blame anyone..... blame Mehcelo and the midfield.

Also Messi has done better goals than that against better defenders than Luiz and TS

Also you know full well if CR or Hazard did that you would be wanking silly over him.....

The hating is lulz.

Was an exciting match. Even if I'm for Brazil that last messi goal made my mouth drop.

The most important thing I can take away from this match, though, is that American's cannot commentate FOR SHIT.

If only Luiz was playing God that is funny, When did Luiz become a WC CB???? Luiz could not stop the raping Messi was giving the Brazilian blackline

Well Kenwyne is at Stoke and i guess thats not THAT bad. Latapy was great, especially in scotland and portugal and I thought he was a bit underrated.

Also you forgot the great Shaka Hislop (lol)

but yea, Yorke shits on all of those people in terms of success.
